I'm A Little Down Tonight

Blogs are supposed to be about talking about whatever is on your mind, and in this case, I can't really do that without hurting someone who I care about very much. I got upset tonight over something that I found out and I don't know what to say about it or how to go about saying it. I have discovered that the older you get, the more you find out who your true friends are and those who are not. Like the saying says, I can count the number of good friends that I have on one hand. The ones that truly care about you are the ones that are going to be there no matter what the situation or circumstance. I know there are friends that still love me no matter what, and I truly appreciate that and the friendship I once had with those people, but the true test is when something big happens in your life and you turn around to see who's there. Sometimes it is the people you expected all along, and sometimes you are surprised who is there and who isn't. Last Monday night I met with a friend who has experienced a loss recently, and she said the same thing, and it really rung true in my heart as well. I may not have lost someone who I really love, but I did have a very big event happen in my life, having a child. It is a very big deal to me so therefore I would think it would be a big deal to a good friend as well. If a friend cannot be there to show support, then I guess I know how they truly feel, even without saying any words at all.

Thank you to all of my friends who have been here for me though thick and thin and who truly care about what is going on in my life as much as I care about what is going on in theirs. If I have ever not shown support or interest like you expected, I sincerely apologize and I hope you know that your life is always wonderful to me because you are my friend and I love you for who you are.

I'm sorry to have such a negative blog today. Usually I am pretty upbeat and happy, but tonight I am a little down. Thanks for listening and letting me vent.
